Hi. I thought I'd show a few pics of my Discus HLG. Its not working properly at the moment. I am having reception problems, maybe caused by a faulty servo. I'll have to work on it a bit more.

Nice bird :)

Alan_Perse:
Thanks  :D  :D . I think I may have solved the radio problem and I will be able to get it flying soon.

Hi All. I don't know if anyone can help me, but I'm having major glitching problems with this model. So much so that I almost crashed the model and damaged it. But no problem the damage is easy to repair.
 
I tried changing the receiver, cristals, and some of the servos ,which I though were faulty, with no success. The receivers I have are single converstion. I wonder if that has anyting to do with it.

The fuselage and wings have a lot of carbon in them, and I have heard that that can cause a problem. So I also tried rerooting the reciever aerial away from the carbon in the fuselage. That appeared to work at first but then I started to get glitching again.

I would really like to get this model flying espiecally with the weather we had today. It looked like there were lots of thermals about. Any help you could give would be great.

Hi Alan,

You say you've repalced the rx, crystals and some servos, you haven't mentioned the battery. Have you changed that?

A single conversion rx is less able to ignore unwanted signals than a dual conversion rx. So if you were flying close to other tx's you might have had a problem of interference.

If the fuse is a carbon rod and your antenna is running close along it then that will weaken the recieved signal. Would it be possible to run the antenna through one of the wings. (I don't know what the wingspan is, and I'm assuming your using 35Mhz.)

Of all the above, personaly I'd look at your battery, it's lead and conector. Then check the other connectors.

Hope this will be of some use :wink:
